Height in centimeters? I don't entirely get this.
Yeah, it's in centimeters. 158 cm is 0.000853132 and 188 is 0.00101512 in nautical miles, if that helps any.
Alternatively, as a smaller scale, 158 cm and 188 cm are only 0.01727909011373578 and 0.020559930008748905 football fields, respectively. Hope this helps.
Sometimes, that 0.00328084th of a football field makes all the difference in the world...
Yeah I had to read it twice to figure it wasn't years. And I use metric, so I know exactly how tall these two are but for some reason it didn't click on the first read
It would be easier if it was 1.88 and 1.56 :)
I think the anime picture adds to it. I thought it was about the "my witch girlfriend is actually 500 just in a childs body so its not pedophilia"
I guess one upside of living in a country that uses both metric and imperial frequently is that these things tend to click pretty quickly. The lack of consistency is annoying, though.
It's nothing. Without a unit those are just numbers. A can of coke isn't 12, it's 12floz.
Or so my metric companions don't shit themselves in their panic-induced rage at the sight of imperial units, a coke can isn't 355, it's 355mL.
It's actually 355 ml.
I'll accept the lowercase L (in my East Coast based US education we were taught liters should also be capital L, but that seems to either be flat-out incorrect or have fallen out of fashion), but googling images of the cans shows me no space between the number and the unit.
I hadn't even noticed that you didn't put a space between the number and the unit. Looking it up online, the Bureau international des poids et mesures states that a space is to be used in front of all units, except for °, ' and ". Dropping the space is very common though.
It's cool to learn the official guidelines; thanks for doing the legwork here!
No, in feet, they're actually giants.
Practice using metric. Not kidding, as an American it’s sometimes frustrating but most things are available in metric and there is a quite large convenience factor
I can tolerate distances in metric, but I draw the line at personal measurements!
not me. my banana seems way bigger in metric than imperial
5 cm is perfectly adequate according to my wife
millimeters, they are Irish
Yes
